Upcoming Poetics Events
The Poetics Working Group is excited to announce several upcoming events. Zoom links to follow.
April 2nd, 3pm. (An)notation. An open roundtable with special musical guests Roger Mathew Grant (Wesleyan) and Anna Zayaruznaya (Yale). We invite all comers for a fast-paced tour of favorite markups of poetry / lyrics / measures. Scansions, marginalia, grace notes, orthographic quirks that testify to the dynamics of both composition and reading. If you’d like to share (5 minutes max) please write to ben.glaser@yale.edu + naomi.levine@yale.edu.
April 30th, 12:30pm. The Poetics Working Group and Renaissance Colloquium welcome Lucía Martínez Valdivia (Reed College) for a discussion of a chapter in progress, “Common Meter in Situ,” from her book project “Common Meter: A Revised History of English Poetry, 1548–1928.” This chapter focuses on common meter and other psalmody-related forms in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century print and manuscript poetic collections. We will pre-circulate her chapter via list-serve and through our readings page.
We’re also rescheduling a planned March visit from Edgar Garcia (Chicago) to discuss his recent Signs of the Americas. Stay tuned!
